Description

Sport climbing up to 2 pitches long, up to 50-60 meters. Finnmark's largest sport climbing area. Facing south west. Short approach.

Note: Beware of loose rock, most of the crag is sandstone.

Season: About May–September/October, can be longer depending on your comfort level.

There is a dry toilet 30 m left from the path between Hovedberget B and Hovedberget Vest, and a lean-to shelter on far left (Hovedberget Vest).

All original grading is done in Norwegian grades.

Himmeldalen has potential for many new routes, especially in Øvreberget above and a little further into the valley from Rypeberget. New routes are developed by members of Alta Klatreklubb (altaklatreklubb.no).

History

First route "Trim for eldre" in 1998 by Kristian Løksa. Development has been going on since then.
